La Brea Season 3 Episode 6 Ending Explained- The Wizard Of Oz Ending We Didn’t Know We Wanted

Across three seasons, against impossible odds and seemingly minuscule budgets, La Brea has managed to hang on and finish what it started. The time-traveling, prehistoric heavy melodrama was an easy, breezy bite of relaxation. It never required too much from you, and it could be watched in fits and starts or binged. It was a watch as you fell asleep when you needed to wake up on Saturday morning or if you needed a pick me up Tuesday night. La Brea Season 6 Episode 3 was no different. There’s a part of me that appreciates La Brea’s unabashed goofiness. It doesn’t even try to be more than it is, bad CGI and everything.

The complaints were fair. Effects were questionable at best. The storylines could be trite or inexplicable or ridiculously both, and some of the performances were a bit much. By and large, though, it was a sweet show filled with people committed to the silliness. It was a show about families by birth or found and people who were granted redemption. It all came to a satisfying end in La Brea Season 3 Episode 6 when the show went full Jurassic Park.

Memories. Hazy watercolor memories of the way they were. Gavin and Eve were in love once and then went through a very rough patch as a result of things outside their control. In spite of everything they were, they continued to be committed to their family. That family was reunited tonight. That’s the thing about La Brea. It was never really a show about sci-fi shenanigans. That was window dressing. NBC’s drama was about finding yourself on your way home.

The end of La Brea Season 3 Episode 6

After finding Riley alive but struggling, Sam performed surgery in 1965 with very little equipment behind a locked door and then took her to 2021 for antibiotics. Paara was rescued by Scott and Ty and they returned to rally the troops to help Gavin and the others get the chip. Eve set off the EMP in 1965, so the chip and any remaining auroras are the only ways back home.

After chasing Eve back and forth from 1965 and 10,000 BC, the remaining fighters and villagers laid a trap and took their shot. They lured a T-Rex to the base and used it as a weapon against the soldiers. They stole the chip before Maya caught them. She was no match for the group, though, and she was shot before the group used the chip to return the remaining group back to 2021. The aurora the others went through earlier wasn’t an option any longer. Everyone is back where they belong, with the exception of Eve, who is still missing.

Josh confessed his love to Riley. He knew the moment he saw her before they fell through the sinkhole, he was going to love her forever. Thank God, Riley answered with humor. Even I needed a minute from the Nottinghill moment. Lucas and Veronica are together, and their baby is thriving. Scott is better for the experience, and their baby has a Godfather for life. He also isn’t going to be afraid and hide from life anymore. We last see him with Emily, who gives him another shot. Sam and Gavin are brothers now, having gone through fire with one another.

Gavin goes back to the memory tree we saw at the beginning of La Brea Season 3 Episode 6, looking for Eve. She wasn’t there initially, but finally, she ran to her family. After thousands of years separated them, they are reunited, hopefully for good. What happens to the survivors of the military group, we don’t know. Surely, not every shred of information on the chip is gone. Someone, somewhere, somewhen knows something.

A sweet moment is shared by Gavin, Josh, Izzy, and Eve when she shows them the letters she wrote in 1965 and left under the tree, hoping they would be found. Time travel tree mail came through one more time.

Ty, who stayed behind, is where he should be. As the only person who stayed behind, he has a new lease on life. Courtesy of Gavin’s father, he is cured of cancer and because of Paara. Everyone who survived was changed for the better. Some found their purpose in life. Others found the courage to live, and still others discovered they were so much more than their mistakes. Like a modern-day Wizard Of Oz, each of the victims of the sinkhole had a specific journey they needed to take.

Gavin was the scarecrow. He needed to get his memories back. Scott and Izzy were Cowardly Lions in search of courage. Josh, Lucas, Veronica, and Riley were Tin Men searching for a heart, and Eve and Ty were Dorothy, who needed to realize there was no place like home, even if that home wasn’t what they expected it to be.

Veronica and Lucas changed the most. Veronica was a kidnapping victim who was so traumatized she was stuck in place. She blossomed into a smart, strong leader. She found her purpose with Lucas. Lucas was an angry, terrified man, afraid to disappoint everyone, and doomed himself by refusing to see anyone as anything but a potential threat. Lucas and Veronica, who returned to 2021, are nothing like their former selves. It will be hard, but they will make it. Their new family will make sure of that.

By the end of the La Brea series finale, the computer research has been destroyed, the military organization has been stopped, and everyone is where they chose to be happy and healthy. It’s a happy ending for the series that always seemed to end every episode with a note of optimism regardless of the giant spiders or shady scientist haunting their every move. Finally resolution. Now, all they need to worry about is regular sinkholes, massive forest fires, mudslides, earthquakes, and bonkers home prices. Good luck! Maybe you were better off in 10,000 BC.
